Alysa’s Comments (group member since Jun 27, 2015)

Alysa’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Also depending on whether my Abhorsen is a good fit for Succession, it should not be too hard to find something else for Power.
Right now it looks like Suzanne’s “money” book may be the only odd man out. We can make a case for moving that to POWER. The power of time travel?

ETA: Wait, no "MONEY" can't be moved.
*sigh*

NICE. Are you still finishing The Chestnut Man as well?

I just saw those 2 comments and was like WHUUUT?
And then I realized it’s because we cross-posted again, on my last comments before that. Lol.

Go for it Kerri!

If we use Ozana's The Dragon Republic for "PRETTY", we are back to needing only STEAK to complete a vertical line, or SUCCESSION to complete a horizontal line *and* and also a vertical line to boot, if we move Wilder Girls to BOAT instead of Sin Bingo.

So if there's anyone out there who finds themselves wanting to pick up one more short book this weekend and all the other stuff on the spreadsheet will for sure be completed, then SUCCESSION is the best choice, with STEAK as second best choice.

(That being said, you could also just start loooooong books for next week. Just sayin'. We have OPTIONS! ;D)

Do you need something more than artist for that book or do yo..."

I think we will leave this book on "Artist" because it is a good CORNER of the Bingo board :D

I have not read it, but I wasn’t impressed with the author’s previous book so I am not a good source for opinions on it. ;)
If you really want to read it, you should!

Ozana wrote: "I will, I''ll finish it. I am at half of the book and I have time, at my time until Sunday morning. That is 2 days. Count me on Jessi."

That is the one that has “palace” and “pretty”, if I remember correctly from when I searched the Amazon sample. :)

I am back online intermittently for the rest of the evening... FWIW.😂

If we move JET book to BOAT, then someone could do SUCCESSION to complete a line? And OYSTER, in case Ozana's "palace" book turns up?

IDK. Brain hurts.

Offline now... JESSI CAN U RESCUE US MEBBE? :D

The problem is JET is on the same lines as TIARA, GOWN, and TRUFFLES.
We could move it to BOAT is someone else does OYSTER and PALACE (and I leave my Butler book in place).
I moved BUTLER but I will move it back...

Ozana says she might also have another book coming at the last minute that fills PALACE / PRETTY.

Argh, this is hard, and also I have to go now and will be offline for a few hours!!

If we can move Joanne's JET book to TUXEDO, no one else needs to read for it.
The issue is that between Allison and Rebecca, we would need one STEAK. Other person's book would not fill anything.
Either that, or we leave JET where it is, then I'd have to leave BUTLER too and we'd need CROWN and TIARA.

There's just not enough readers left to get enough full-extra line-completions in here...

If we move the JET book to Tuxedo, and the Butler book to Pretty, then we would need STEAK...

@Rebecca might you be able to do Steak instead of the tuxedo book you found??

@Joanne:
Or if no steak in JET book, does anyone were a TUXEDO?

BTW we may need to move the JET and BUTLER books to different squares, to maximize lines.

@Joanne: do people eat STEAK in your Rich People book?


ETA: if so, I can move my BUTLER book to PRETTY and we'll complete another vertical line...

This is my favorite gif of all time. I look at it whenever I need cheering up:

BTW please people tell me if my micromanaging is irritating.
I tend to get carried away with finding "fit letters" for spell-outs, even for other peoples' books :D

Team, in case it doesn't go without saying:

Let's not say in this thread what our words are!
We don't want anybody else to steal words they didn't find. :D

Sounds good, M!
I will probably do the same.

For anybody doing the Two Can Keep a Secret BOM next week, it works for T and E, which are the letters that we need the most! So, lucky that.

I have a list of possible stuff but am having Decision Fatigue.
I am also still chipping away at a very long Non-Fiction audiobook. I won't finish it next week by any means, but I feel like it's making me second-guess my Week 7 choices.

Urghk, lemme just finish my Week 6 books before I decide ;D
